They can want it all they like. Doesn't mean they'll get it. With no way in or out except through the Canarsie tubes, these pols better be able to explain why it would be better to keep the reconstruction of the tunnels going on for years. And they better be able to explain why running L trains at SEVERELY reduced frequency for all those years is better than no service for a much shorter time period. Bringing in diesels to periodically tow trains back to East New York Yard for maintenance is not really a workable solution, because there will be instances where trains will suddenly break down and the diesels will not be able to get through in a reasonable time.Do these same pols have another idea for getting trains in and out of the 14th St subway for maintenance? No? Didn't think so! |
